Sustainable Schools Project
As we are working through the guidelines to make our school and its pupils more sustainable, we have found that we are already fulfilling a lot of the criteria suggested by Lincolnshire County Council. You may be aware already of the things we are doing, but we have decided to detail them underneath the relevant sustainable schools ‘gateways’. We are aware that there are areas that are still in development, and we have developed an Action Plan within the ECO SCHOOLS framework which will eventually tick all the boxes in the Sustainable Schools plan and the Eco Schools plan.
